Gabriele Piva

Due to a very busy work schedule, I had a gap in my learning and general use of Italian, and I was quite nervous about restarting lessons. I absolutely shouldn’t have been - Gabriele put me at ease straight away and has a unique ability to bring out confidence and highlight your strengths with language. Gabriele is a fantastic teacher - the kind that is truly hard to find. I highly recommend him :) Thank you, Gabriele!

Very good experience with Gabriele - he was professional yet casual and made you feel at ease in practising your Italian and very clear in his explanations. He took the effort to do some prework as well and personalise it via reading my italki profile. Looking forward to the next lesson already!

I have been taking lesson with Gabriele for a year now and I always learn a lot out of each lesson and have made much progress. Gabriele is professional yet casual, friendly and punctual. He identifies and remembers your strengths and weaknesses and tailors each lesson to your wants and needs. I would highly recommend you give him a try. I look forward to another year of lessons ahead.

Gabriele is an excellent teacher and conversing with him always stimulating and renewing. He's intelligent and sensitive, patient and relaxed; these are good qualities to have no matter what; but for a teacher on this site imperative in my estimation. Naturally, as a non-Italian speaker, I hope that Gabriele gets something worthwhile (conversationally) from this student!.

I’ve had 4 lessons with Gabriele so far and I’ve been very happy. I asked for a combo of conversation and lessons and he has structured our 45 minutes accordingly and is always prepared. Currently we are working on congiuntivo imperfetto and I’m finally getting it. Prior to this, I’ve struggled for years to get it. I’m a level B1/B2. I highly recommend working with Gabriele.

Gabriele è sempre bravo come insegnante
